Need for Bead Socks
Introducing the Need for Bead Socks pattern, a delightful and versatile sock design perfect for knitters of all skill levels! This basic sock pattern features a charming beaded rib stripe running down the outer edge, adding a touch of elegance and fun to your sock knitting project. The socks are constructed cuff down, incorporating a traditional heel flap and gusset method along with a comfortable wedge toe decrease for a snug fit. While the instructions are primarily written for the magic loop method, they can easily be adapted for 9-inch circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs), making this pattern highly adaptable to your preferred knitting technique. For this project, I used the wonderfully soft and squishy Knitpicks Hawthorne Fingering yarn, which offers a perfect blend of comfort and durability.
